I was in a track event at Nashville Superspeedway with my old engine (just over 400 rwhp) and they got me on radar on the front straight at 147 passing a Porsche. I went to 5th gear as I went around him and about the time I pulled back in front of him all hell broke loose!! Concrete track, 9 quarts of oil, Racing slicks and the rest is priceless!!

approx. 125 mph in the cobra... no fun above 100

approx. 150 mph heading North on the German autobahn in a BMW 535 ("road train / convoy" of 4 cars in the night... I was last in line letting the front clear the left lane for a little hour on our way home from skiing

But the most fun on... a brand new Volvo R was giving me the angry lights from about 5 Feet distance - wanting to pass me badly... I was in my "sleeper" 1998 Saab 900 convertible on the highway doing 85 mph - when Right lane was free I changed lane, but the very moment he came passing at full trottle I let the turbo rotate... at 155 mph he gave up ( cars in Europe are often restricted to mph 155 and my mechanic have had my Saab at 175 mph )
